400 Box Shows Shared

[saipanda]

Hi Gordon,

First of all, many thanks for being one of those digitizing the tapes. It's definitely very 
much appreciated by me, and many others I'm sure.

I know a Peel database is something other people are thinking about as well, and I don't 
want to tread on any toes. 

Was just thinking about your point on the years, months etc, As far as the Wiki goes, it 
can't really act as an online database of shows, but think it seems an easy enough way of 
listing information on things that are already scattered around cyberspace, including links 
to where shows can be downloaded, if people are good with this.

Anyway, first of all, I have added a "shows by date" section to the Wiki "400 Box" page, to 
make shows easier to find on a month by month basis:
http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/400_Box

Also made a start on rejigging the dates pages, with what you said in mind. 

Here's my simple efforts for 1977, 1978 and 1979 (the latter very much still under 
construction), pulling together shows from the 400 Box, the DVD torrent set, and some 
posted here in recent times -- no doubt there are others I've missed:

http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/1977
http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/1978
http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/1979

Seems to me that this would be easy enough to expand to cover all the years in the date 
index (http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/Year), although it would take a fair amount of work to 
get all the tracklistings and comments sections sorted for every show. 

(On the other hand, one good thing about the Wiki is that it's pretty easy to use, and 
everyone is always welcome to join in.) 

Anyway, just an idea. Any thoughts from folks? I'm happy if other people have alternative 
things they want to do instead.

Cheers,

Steve W

appreciate that members using the web site would probably need a password to avoid 
outsiders either misusing the service or making issues about copy rights etc. The fact that 
the music is in mono and of a certain quality I cant imagine any of the artists that had 
their music played on Peely's show would complain. If anything it would only serve to 
remind listeners of the existence of these bands.
